Happy pride month! I cannot believe it's already June! If you haven't had a chance to check out the bloom tour installations you've still got a little time. This week on Wednesday I dropped off a refresh of the large arrangement I did for the @theskeletonkeyodditorium and I will be doing the same  thing this Wednesday for the last weekend of bloom tour. All the installations will be up until at least the 8th so get downtown to see them while you still can! It's a great excuse to downtown and a way to kick off rose festival. If you haven't been to The skeleton key I can't  recommend it highly enough; they've got all sorts of fantastic historical oddities...

Well, it happened again, time has gotten away from me, but, I have to talk a little bit about the installation I got to create for the lovely folks over @theskeletonkeyodditorium. Of course there were many changes made mid process; projects like this are often more improv than advance planning, at least for me. I really have to see how things are coming together and often switch things up mid-stream. Part of what I created proved too heavy to hang safely and in a genius move I decided to hang the heads and appendages BEFORE arranging the flowers into them . All in all I'm happy with how it came out, of course I wish I had more time/budget to...

I took this day of rest thing to heart and spent the weekend resting as much as I could make myself. Less than one week until Mother's Day! This year I'm teaming up with Jaymie, aka @bloommonger to bring back the bucket shop. While we strongly encourage you to pre-order before Tuesday May 6th, she will be rocking wrapped bouquets for walk-ins on both Saturday and Sunday May 10&11 from 10-2. Wrapped bouquet pre-orders close on Tuesday May 6th and I will only be taking orders until my schedule is full so get your orders in ASAP if you want to BE SURE we will have flowers with your Mama's name on them. If you want to make an extra...

It's Sunday so I'm adding a blog post. Cannot believe another week has flown by and we are now closing in on mother's day! This year I'm collaborating with Jaymie aka bloommonger to have wrapped bouquets and stems for sale in the shop in addition to the pick up and delivery arrangements we always have available.  I'm so excited to have a partner in this especially as things feel especially scary this year. I don't know but to be honest I'm low key terrified all the time right now. It hardly seems a time to be concerned with making pretty flowers but I keep trying to remind myself that the world needs art, beauty and creativity now more than ever....

Apparently daily was too big of a commitment. I was excited to learn how to create a post on my phone after the letters "e" and "r" both stopped working on my laptop. You'd be amazed how little can be Saud without those 2 letters! So, here we are on another Sunday after only one other post thus week all the way back on Tuesday. So maybe it's just a Sunday thing. Learning g to be gentler with myself when I bite off more than I can chew. This Easter Sunday I am headed out to gather curly willow and maybe some other spring greens. It is still a bit early for some of my favorites and orders have been...
